Chapter 209: Welcoming Party

Shen Zhao's expression was serious, "I have never been in contact with any women, and I don't understand their thoughts. If my brother does something wrong, or if he neglects you because of others, just tell me."

"I know." Shen Yu winked at her, "Just don't forget to treat me to a drink."

Shen Zhao nodded and left. When he walked to the moon cave door, he looked back and saw only Shen Yu's straight back.

He suddenly felt sad.

The little girl running behind him has grown into a big girl. She doesn't need his brother to take care of her and can fly high.

Shen Yu walked to her yard, thinking that Shen Zhao had really never been in contact with any women, so it was normal for him not to understand.

wrong.

She paused, then why did Xie Tingzhou know so much?

Is it possible...

"Hongqiao!" Shen Yu shouted loudly: "The pen and ink are waiting for me, I want to write a letter."

The guards received Xie Tingzhou's order and escorted him almost every step of the way. When they arrived at the Lu Mansion, they also took turns changing guard.

Hongqiao and the maid prepared water, and Shen Yu washed herself up. When she saw the women's clothes on the side, she picked them up and put them down again.

"Put it away." Shen Yu ordered, "Change into men's clothes."

Hongqiao was stunned. Although the young lady often wore men's clothes in the past, she would still change back to women's clothes once she returned to Hezhou.

Shen Yu sat in front of the mirror, with Hongqiao behind her using a handkerchief to wet her hair.

"How have you been in the past year?" Shen Yu looked at Hongqiao in the mirror.

Hongqiao's eyes were red, "Okay, the old lady loves her house and treats her slaves very well. The young lady and Luyao are suffering outside."

Shen Yu said: "I was in a hurry and didn't have time to take her with me, but I have informed her in advance. She should be on her way to Hezhou by now."

Lu Zhai has not been so lively for a long time, and everyone is busy trying to catch the wind and wash away the dust for them.

Before the old lady stepped through the door, she noticed that the atmosphere was unusual. The servants all bowed their heads and remained silent, and there was no lively chatter in the hall.

There were five tables in the hall. When Mrs. Lu came in, there were less than three tables occupied.

Mrs. Lu's face suddenly darkened.

Shen Yu understood instantly and helped the old lady sit down.

"Did the third and fifth bedrooms go and shout?" Old Mrs. Lu asked.

The maid hurriedly replied, "I've asked you. The wife of the third bedroom said she had a headache, and the fifth bedroom also said she had a headache."

Mrs. Lu sneered, "It hurts so much."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law went to see Sanfang when she heard that she had a headache, but..."

"Speak directly."

"Yes." Mrs. Zhang said: "The news about my sister in Beijing has now spread to Hezhou. I guess they are afraid that they will be implicated in the incident in Beijing..."

Snapped--

Mrs. Lu slapped her hand on the table. Her voice was not loud, but she was so frightened that no one dared to speak.

"The money is not short, I'm afraid I will be implicated now."

"Grandma, don't be angry." Shen Yu stroked Old Mrs. Lu's back.

A good dinner was ruined like this. Everyone in the room was silent and only dared to bury their heads in eating, not even daring to touch the bowl with their chopsticks.

The moon had risen, and Shen Yu coaxed Mrs. Lu to sleep.

Shen Zhao was leaning on the corridor waiting for her. When he saw Shen Yu coming out, he raised the riding whip in his hand.

"It's still early, why don't you go out for a run?"

"Okay." Shen Yu said.

The two of them rode out of Hezhou City, speeding up as soon as they left the city, leaving the dim lights behind them.

The horses' hooves faced the wind and ran wildly under the moonlit night.

Shen Yu stepped down from her bed, and she had stayed in Hezhou since she asked Hongqiao to go to Hezhou to adjust grain.

The night was getting colder, but the brothers and sisters were all sweating profusely. They hadn't raced so happily in a long time.

Shen Yu reined in her horse at the end of the previous horse race and looked back at Shen Zhao, who was one step behind. "Your horse is not as good as mine, so I lose this round."

Shen Zhao smiled and said: "You must pull your horse out for a run, and you are only half a body ahead of me."

Shen Yu got off the horse and touched Ben Xiao, "You've made me so fat."

Shen Zhao went up to the hill first, sat down on a stone, and threw a wine bag to her.

"You saw it today too."

"Yes." Shen Yu nodded: "Our arrival seems to make this place uneasy."

Shen Zhao looked sideways at her, "Then what are you going to do next?"

However, Shen Yu did not answer, looking at the two pacing horses under the moonlight.

She thought of Xie Tingzhou, who had been separated for a month. She wondered if he was in Beilin now, and if he encountered any danger along the way.

"Hey, girl." Shen Zhao touched her with his elbow.

Shen Yu came back to her senses and said, "What do I care about them? I came to visit my grandmother, not them. I can't stay for too long. If they don't mess with me during this period, they will live their lives as usual. If they dare to do anything, You are so evil, don’t blame me for not caring about that shallow family affection.”

Shen Zhao rubbed her head and said, "My sister is so capable."

"Don't rub it." Shen Yu straightened her hair. "It's all messed up."

"It was already blown like a chicken coop by the wind, but you still find it objectionable that I try to straighten it out for you." Shen Zhao retracted his hand with a smile and looked into the distance, the smile on his face gradually fading.

"It's getting cold," he said.

Shen Yu knew that Shen Zhao must have had his intentions when he suddenly asked her to go out of the city to play a game.

"What do you want to say?"

Shen Zhao thought for a moment, "I want to give my back to you."

Before Shen Yu could speak, he continued: "When the weather cools down, the Xijue people are likely to launch an attack on the border. Yanliang Pass, Jingmen Pass, and Yecheng along the line may all become targets of their attack."

Shen Yu vaguely guessed what Shen Zhao wanted to do, but she didn't speak.

“I failed miserably there and I wanted to pick up where I fell.”

"But you have no soldiers." Shen Yu said.

"I don't have one." Shen Zhaoque said, "But there is at Yanliang Pass, where there are now 40,000 garrison troops."

Shen Yu pursed her lips tightly, "I hate that place. I lost my father there and the soldiers who fought alongside me. Why do we have to defend the city for them?"

Shen Zhao's voice was very calm, "After I recovered from my injury this year, I went to Yanliang Pass. The people built a tomb for my father outside the city. What you don't know is that there are more than sixty people who built it next to my tomb. 's tomb.

Shen Yu looked at him with confusion and waited quietly for the next step.

Shen Zhao said: "Those were the garrison and ordinary people who wanted to open the city gate for us during that battle. I heard about their deeds there. They went up with hoes and poles and died. One group after another added more people, until more than 60 corpses blocked the passage, and they could not open the door. "

"The common people are not ignorant. They can distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. The city guard is dead, Liang Jianfang is dead, Ge Liangji, Li Yanchang, and other officials involved in this case have also been arrested. There is only one Xuan left. Pinghou."
